Chapter 242: The Battlefield Passes By

The plateau Xianhai, the Qidada area, and the tributaries of the Yellow River flow through here, but the large area of gravel and sand is not suitable for cultivating pasture, let alone cultivating farmland.

The war of the Qiang people seems to be much more elaborate than that of the Han Yellow Turbans, with the Qiang rebels who rebelled on one side and the coalition forces gathered by the burning dangang on the other.

Instead of fighting in the meadows, the two sides used the gravel wasteland as a battleground.

The rebel army had 70,000 troops, half of them foot soldiers, and their equipment was much more rudimentary than that of the Burning Dang coalition army, and most of the rebels were slaves in the early days, and there were also some small tribes who wanted to speculate or were oppressed for a long time.

With the development of the Qiang uprising, even some medium-sized tribes appeared to support the rebel army against the powerful Qiang tribes.

Most of the initiators of the uprising were people who returned from the Han Dynasty, absorbing the experience of Zhang Jiao and Beigong Boyu's uprising, and under the banner of rescuing slaves, they should have been able to gather more talents.

However, in order to avoid civil strife, the people in power of the Qiang tribes were also much more decisive than those of the Han people.

Before the rebels arrived, the slaughter of slaves was carried out in the major tribes of the Qiang people. Only a small number of obedient slaves, who were more used on weekdays, were slaughtered after ensuring that there were enough cultivators.

This also led to the emergence of a 70,000-strong rebel army on this side, but not a large number of soldiers.

There are about 50,000 troops on the side of the Burning Dang coalition army, all of which are equipped with iron weapons, all of which are cavalry, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses.

To say that there are really many Huqiang and Xiongnu horses, but their horses have a similar concept to the Han people's houses and cultivated land.

If there is a saying about the common people here, it can be understood that horses are the standard for the common people of the Qiang people, and at the same time, these horses are actually their lifeblood.

Human skin war drums, leg bone drums and hammers, drums beat, wild loess pulls out the battle lines of both sides, people roar and horses, and there are also roars and scolding.

You are cruel, he is inferior, you oppress your fellowmen, you are stupid and provoked. Calling and scolding you to come and go, the soldiers are armed and ready to charge.

"Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~" The sound of the horn full of savage atmosphere came from afar, and the two sides stopped looking south. On the horizon, there is smoke and dust again.

An army, a small but better equipped army than they were, crossed the southern hills and came into view of the two armies.

The Han flag fluttered, and Liu Cang led the army to pass by the battlefield, blowing trumpets to warn, wanting to pass through the open space hundreds of meters between the two sides.

Liu Cang wanted to go to Xianhai Lake to find Gu Wither, but the northern mountains here blocked the way, and the mountains were steep and difficult to climb.

The Xianhai Plateau is not only high in altitude, but also has a very complex geographical environment here, Xianhai is not bad here, and it is similar to a basin here, so the strong Qiang people also like to occupy here.

If you go to the southwest, it is called a staggered mountain range with mottled valleys.

Han Di has been harassed by Hu Qiang for a long time, but it seems that there is no way to deal with them.

The Qiang people's combat power is really nothing to brag about, in addition to the more fatal altitude sickness, the key point is that the geographical environment here is difficult to defeat the thieves.

"Peng!" The sound of neat thrashing shook the battlefield.

Liu Cang led his troops to enter, and the rebel army all hit their chests, without words of greeting, and all bowed their heads.

Liu Cang didn't come to fight, he just passed by, bringing peace and friendship.

The tiger and the ox opened the way, the gang hunted, and Liu Cang rode a tall and healthy horse, surrounded by thunder gang.

The Han flag fluttered, and the corner flag entered the army. Dian Wei, Pan Feng, and Ji Ling raised their blades on their sides, and the blades dragged out of the ground.

The Flying Bear Camp and the Feather Forest Rider also hold blades in their hands, the beast's face covers their faces, the halberd blades of various colors flicker and dark, and the war horses fall to their hooves.

The Qiang soldiers were silent.

Basically, the karma of an individual will not decrease, but the karma attached to the group will increase or decrease with the prestige and momentum.

Yulin has died, although the first battalion of Liu Cang's army was given the number of Yulin Cavalry. But as early as when Liangzhou joined the army, the additional karma of Yulin Riding was only one hundred.

You must know that the Yue Cavalry and the Changshui Forbidden Army have 600 karma, which shows how far the Yulin Cavalry has fallen.

Liangzhou quelled the rebellion, especially after entering the Qiang land, and the Yulin battle flag that was displayed again reminded the Qiang people of the legend of the tiger ben.

The karma of the Yulin Cavalry increased to 600, and the Flying Bear Battalion, which also spread its flag, reached 800 of the Tun Cavalry Forbidden Army.

There is also a chieftain's army with karma among the elite soldiers of Burndang, and at this time, in the face of the 'King of Makino', the army that has released its qi and is also speechless.

Liu Cang has been wandering in the Qiang land for almost two months, and the Qiang people no longer want to fight with this army.

The Qiang people didn't care that Liu Cang was called the king of Dongping, they regarded Liu Cang as the king of grazing wild beasts, and usually called Liu Cang the king of Muye.

The evil god Dian Wei, the minions Pan Feng and Ji Ling, the violent army flying bear, and the slaughtering army Yulin. One or two, anyway, there is no good name.

Liu Cang led this army not to attack the dangerous gathering places of various ethnic groups, but to pick up the flat places to wander.

The Qiang people are good at riding and shooting, and they act like the wind, and they come and go freely when they invade the Han land.

But Liu Cang's side seems to shoot more ruthlessly, with hundreds of iron crest strong bows, plus a battalion of Yulin from all hunters.

Everyone has horses, and there are Menghu bison, and then look at the vultures squatting on the horses of the poor wolf army.

Come on, Frontal Gang? Don't make trouble, when will our Qiang people just pass the front?

It seems that the position is reversed, Liu Cang and they are happy or unhappy, and the Qiang people don't know, anyway, after four or five battles, all the Qiang people are unwilling to deal with Liu Cang and his party.

There was a little instability within their own family, and the peace and kindness brought by Liu Cang, they finally felt it.

No one provoked Liu Cang, and Liu Cang would not take the initiative to attack the Qiang people.

As a result, after a period of time, the Qiangdi uprising roared, and in front of him, Liu Cang led the army across the battlefield, and both sides waited for Liu Cang to leave, and then said that they would start.

A group of plague gods shouting to pray for blessings, hurry up, don't delay our battle!

The strong army went first, and then there were more cattle and sheep driven by the wolf army, for these livestock, cattle and horses, the eyes of both Qiang people flashed greed, and then helplessness.

There are some other reasons why Liu Cang is in a hurry to pass through this place, mainly because the number of cattle and horses raised by Liu Cang is saturated, and the system no longer classifies the livestock obtained by Liu Cang into the category of breeding.

There was a Qiang trade center on the other side of Qinghai Lake, and there were Han caravans there, and Liu Cang needed to send some livestock back to Han land.

There were 6,000 war horses, 9,000 yaks, and 30,000 Tibetan sheep, and only these were the only livestock that Liu Cang accompanied were classified into the feeding system, and the others were driven by normal grazing even if they accompanied the team.

This time, it was not that Mengbeast was restricted because of food problems, but that he was in Qiangdi, and the system defaulted that Liu Cang could not keep more livestock.

There are a huge number of livestock, and a lot of time is wasted in foraging for food.

Thieves, robbers, horse bandits, even if the serious Qiang tribe does not want to clash with Liu Cang on the surface, but the cattle and horses are moving, even if they are attacked by tigers, wolves and eagles, there are often some people who do not know whether they are alive or dead and worry about the livestock accompanying Liu Cang.

The Hu Qiang liked to plunder, but they were usually not embarrassed to walk the caravans on their side, or they did not dare to plunder the well-known caravans, which were also the lifeblood of the Qiang people to some extent.

The caravan is in trouble here, and even the chiefs of the major tribes will come forward to defend it.

I heard that there was a gathering place similar to a market on the other side of Xianhai Lake, and I happened to be on the way, so Liu Cang also wanted to go there as soon as possible to find a Handi caravan and bring some cattle and sheep back.

The men and horses walked through the battlefield, until Liu Cang's figures gradually disappeared into the low hill on the other side, and the human skin drum beat in the rear played again, killing and shouting, startling the eagle to wither into the air.

After marching ten miles to see the grassland, the herdsmen exclaimed to gather their cattle and sheep, fearing the march of Liu Cang and his group.

Walk another five miles, look at the mountain cliffs are towering, the river is shallow, and cattle and horses can cross.

After the river, there are stone houses on the slopes of the mountains, and you can see the stone houses on the slopes and even the mountain walls.

The tiger roared and the eagle roared, the Qiang people were silent, Liu Cang and his group walked across the mountain road, and they could see the lake and sea in the distance.
